"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 62 Ah, this is lovesickness.
After she finished speaking, the man remained silent for a long time.

Her long, jet-black hair shimmered with an alluring light under the blue glow, as smooth as silk, making her the envy of all who saw her.

Qin Su's thoughts were a jumbled mess; this person's guard was incredibly strong.

It was already faster than she originally planned to get him to ask questions.

Even if he retreats back into his shell after today, she won't be in a hurry.

A good psychologist is like a seasoned hunter; they must have a deep understanding of the patient's inner world to gain their trust, then capture their inner thoughts through conversation, and finally grasp their essence precisely.

“There is a person,”

At an unexpected moment, Chu Jiang spoke up: "I feel annoyed just looking at her. I look down on her, I think she's stupid, and she's always getting bullied, but..."

Qin Su's smile froze slightly at the man's words, afraid that any sudden movement would disturb him: "But what is it?"

"But I worry about her when I can't see her."

I worry about whether she's hurt, whether she's been bullied again, and whether she'll hide away and cry if she's been wronged.

Although, it seems she has never cried in front of him.

"May I ask if the person you're referring to is a man or a woman?"

At these words, the man, who had just been hesitant and confused, suddenly raised his head, his beautiful, sharp eyes fixed on her, as if he had instantly reversed the roles of hunter and prey.

There was a dangerous glint in his eyes: "What difference does it make whether it's a man or a woman?"

“There’s not much difference, I just wanted to know. But based on your description, you are indeed sick,” she said.

Chu Jiang didn't react much, but his gaze towards her grew even colder, like a cheetah ready to pounce at any moment, exuding a sense of oppression.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious," Qin Su said gently with a smile, but her words almost made the man's expression collapse: "It's just ordinary lovesickness. So, do you have someone you like?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chu Jiang almost raised his hand to knock the cup to the ground.

But to everyone's surprise, the hand passed right through the middle of the cup; it all felt like a dream.

While he was lost in thought, Qin Su seized the opportunity to ask, "So you have a girl you like?"

The man, still surprised by the water glass, frowned sharply upon hearing this: "No!"

Then, trying to cover up his misunderstanding, he said the next sentence: "How could I possibly like that guy!"

However, the woman opposite her said something even more infuriating: "You immediately thought of that person, so it seems you really are pregnant."

He instantly realized something, and his tone became dangerous and threatening: "You're trying to trick me?"

Of course not~

Qin Su raised her hands in a gesture of surrender: "I was just giving a normal answer based on your description. Don't be so quick to get angry."

Qin Su interrupted the man's anger directly: "Admiration during puberty is a normal physiological phenomenon, you don't need to feel ashamed. You can fall in love with anyone."

Perhaps it was the last sentence that calmed Chu Jiang down; he pursed his lips and did not get angry.

Qin Su wouldn't let this good opportunity slip by, and asked him with a smile:

"So what's troubling you? Is it that this person's status and position are not good enough for you?"

"No."

Chu Jiang almost immediately denied it, his brows furrowed.

He knew better than anyone that with just a word from him, "Qin Sangsang" would be packed up and delivered to his side.

Whether she agrees or not, she is his if he wants her to.

But he didn't know why, he didn't want to do it this way. The man slowly lowered his head, his beautiful long hair falling down to cover his face, making it impossible to see his expression: "I don't want to force her."

She knows nothing.
I don't know who he is.

I don't know what it means to be by his side.

“She shouldn’t be tied to me for those inexplicable reasons; it’s not fair to her.”

The man's expression was serious and somber, but what he said took Qin Su by surprise.

She actually felt "fairness and respect" from a notoriously cruel tyrant, and it was from a woman.

Is this reasonable?

She subconsciously softened her voice: "Your idea is correct. Girls all hope that the person they like will respect them. If you're willing, you can tell me about what's between you and her."

After all, besides you, I have no other contact with anyone else in this world, and I would never reveal your secret.

The man, who originally didn't want to say anything more, was inexplicably moved by her last sentence.

He looked up at her.
-
Qin Su keenly realized that the person in front of her possessed an extremely proud and sensitive heart that did not match his strong personality.

Or rather, a strong sense of inferiority and self-esteem coexist.

He can be so arrogant that he despises heaven and earth and doesn't care about anything.

Deep down, there's a part of me that's "sick" and filled with defensiveness and suspicion towards the world; I don't trust anyone.

Even though he realized he might like that soft and easy-to-bully little girl, his first feeling wasn't happiness, but fear.

"As long as..."

Chu Jiang's long, dark eyelashes concealed the fear and self-loathing in his eyes: "If she dares to show even a hint of fear towards me, I will kill her."

"I will definitely kill her."

He spoke in a calm tone, but his words were chilling.

In that instant, Qin Su seemed to sense the man's despairing and barren heart—he was wary of the world, and did not believe that anyone would love him or choose him firmly.

This was the first time in so long that she had glimpsed the inner world of a man; the heavy darkness was almost suffocating.

Qin Su was almost swallowed up by his emotional black hole, and an indescribable feeling of heaviness and discomfort welled up in her chest.

She composed herself and reminded herself that a psychologist is there to help patients, not to be frightened by their inner world.

"So, now that you know everything, why not give it a try?"

A clear and soothing voice roused Chu Jiang from the darkness.

He looked up and met that face that was exactly the same, yet completely different: "If you want to know what she's thinking, go ask her and hear the answer from her own mouth."

"Even if we can't become lovers, we can start as friends..."

He opened his eyes abruptly, the words he had heard in his dream still echoing in his mind:

"If you want to know something, just ask her and hear what she thinks for yourself."
-
Qin Su was fast asleep, lying on the stone table, when she was suddenly jolted awake with a sharp tap on the head: "Ouch!"

Then, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a handsome face that I hadn't seen in a long time appear beside me.

The man was dressed in black brocade robes with a leather belt around his waist. His pale, handsome face looked listless. He took a cup and poured tea for himself, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

She blinked, her voice still soft and husky from just waking up: "Why are you here?"

Chu Jiang paused in his teacup-holding hand, then, suppressing his nervousness, looked down at her.
